ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE The blade may be supported from the rear and held in line to prevent excessive bending while cutting , Accu - rate work and minimum blade breakage , especially with thin blades , depends on proper adjustment of the blade SUPPORT SCREW guide . The socket head screw holds the blade guide to the blade guide bracket . The guide should be adjusted forward until the ' V ' - slot barely touches the rear edge oi the blade with ' C ' - Arm in its top position . Then tighten screw . The blade should not rub inthe slot while run ning free . Excessive friction work hardens the back edge of HOLD - DOWN the blade and reduces blade life . Pressure on the work SCREW will push the blade back against the guide while cutting , ADJUSTING WORK HOLD - DOWN FOOT The purpose of the work hold - down foot is to hold the WORK HOLD - DOWN work against the table sothat it is less likelyto liftwith the KNOB up stroke of the blade . It should lie flat on the work with the front prongs straddling the blade . The work hold - down foot is attached to the blade guide iUIDE POST bracket . The height of the work hold - down foot is adjusted by loosening the work hold - down knob and moving the guide post up or down . When the table is tilted , the work hold - down foot can be adjusted by loosening the screw and adjusting the foot to the same angle as the table . The work hold - down foot should always be adjusted as close to the work as possible , BLOWER .

i i i i u | . OPERATION OF YOUR SCROLL SAW PLEASE , read and understand the following items about 10 . When choosing a blade to use with your scroll saw , your scroll saw before attempting to use the saw . consider the following carefully , â¢ Very fine , narrow blades should be used to scroll 1 . Do notforce workpiece intothe blade , Allowthe saw cut in thin wood 1 ; 4 inch thick or less . to cut the workpiece by . guidingthe wood into the blade . â¢ To cut wood over 1t4 inch thick , use wider blades . 2 . The blade teeth cut wood ONLYon the down stroke . â¢ Most blade packages state'the size or thickness of wood which that blade is intended to cut , and 3 . You must guide the wood into the blade slowly the minimum radius which can be cut with that because the teeth of the blade are very small and blade . they can only remove wood when they are on the down stroke . â¢ Wider blades can't cut curves as tight or small as thinner blades . 4 . There is a learning curve for each person using this â¢ Narrower blades work well only on thinner wood saw . Dudng that period of time , it is expected that material . some blades willbreak untilyoulearn howto use the saw and receivethe greatest benefitfromthe blades . 11 . When selecting the cutting speed , keep the lo Ilow - ing in mind : 5 . Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than one inch thick . â¢ Slower speeds are generally more effective than faster speeds , especially when using thin blades 6 . When cutting wood thicker than one inch the user and making intricate cuts . mustguide the wood very , very slowly intothe blade , and take extra care not to bend or twist the blade â¢ To find the best speed , start at a slow speed and while cutting in order to maximize blade life . gradually increase the speed until the optimum cutting rate is achieved . 7 . Teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and as such must be replaced frequently for best cutting results . 12 . This saw uses 5 inch long , plain end or pin type Scroll saw blades generally stay sharp for 1t2 hour blades . See your Sears Catalog or Retail Store for to 2 houm of cutting . accessory blades . 13 . Blades wear faster when cutting plywood , which is 8 To get accuratecuts ; be prepared tocompensate for very abrasive , when sawing wood which is thicker the tendency of the blade tofollow the wood grain as than the 3 / 4 inch , and when sawing hardwood , or you are cutting . when side pressure is placed on the blade . 9 . This scroll saw is intended to cut wood , wood like materials , or non - ferrous metal . 18 Page: 19

MAKING INTERIOR SCROLL CUTS 1 . One of the features of th { ssaw is that it can be used 1J4 " HOLE IN WORKPIECE to make scroll cuts on the interiorof a board without CENTERED OVE breaking or cuttinginto the outline or perimeter of the HOLE tN TABLE board . WARNING : TO avoid injury from accidental starting , always turn switch " OFF " and lock switch before removing or replacing the blade . 2 . To make interior cuts in a board , remove the scroll saw blade as explained in the Assembly section . 3 . Drill a 1 / 4 " hole inthe board you will use to make interior cuts . 4 . Place the board onthe saw table with the hole in the board over the insert hole in the table . 5 . install blade through hole in board and adjust blade tension . 6 . When finished making the interiorscroll cuts , simply remove the blade from the blade holders , as de - scribed in the Assembly section , and remove the board from the table . maintenance MOTOR WARNING : For your own safety , push control knob ' OFF ' and remove plug from power source If the power cord , motor cord or sensor cord , isworn , cut outlet before maintaining or lubricating your saw . or damaged in any way , have it replaced immediately . Do not attempt to oi ! the motor bearings or service the motor internal parts . GENERAL An occasional coat of past wax on the work table will allow the wood being cut to glide smoothly across the work surface . REPLACING MOTOR BRUSHES The carbon brushes that come with this saw are de * signed to give long service life . When one of both brushes becorne shorter than 1 / 4 " , replace both brushes . 1 . Remove the brush cap using a 1 / 4 " flat blade screw - driver . NOTE : The brushes are spring loaded and may push against the cap as it releases . 2 . Installt he new brush assembly and reinstalithe brush cap . 3 . Use the cap to push the spring and brass end of the assembly into the rectangular hole as the cap is tightened . Be sure that the brush cap is fully seated in the brush holder , BRUSH 4 . Repeat the procedure for the other brush . BRUSH CAP 19 Page: 20
